The Halloween Channel will also be available on Sky’s low-cost OTT TV service Now TV.

Other pop-up channels launched by Sky this year include Sky Cinema Oscars in February and Sky Cinema Sky-Fi in September. The pay TV operator also plans to launch a dedicated channel celebrating the Christmas season.

Group Director of Sky Cinema Ian Lewis said: “Sky Cinema Halloween is the latest of our dedicated genre channels and brings together over 50 scary movies for a non-stop week of horror. With a range of classics and recent releases there is something for everyone, and it is another great example of the continued innovation that helps to make Sky Cinema the UK and Ireland’s leading in-home movies service.”
